Sometimes it almost seems like no matter what you do you can't seem to keep ahead of what life throws at you. For me it seems much like that right now. Thursday my husband lost his job, I'm working too many hours to be able to keep up in school gracefully. I'm pulling all-nighters two or more times a week, just to keep ahead of my homework. There are only three, perhaps soon to be two, workers in the restaurant at work, so juggling schedules is becoming harder and harder, I seem to be the one assigned all the slack.
Then yesterday, our next door neighbor's house burned down. I want to do everything I can to help them, which seems to be highly limited because of the fact that I'm never home. I'm doing everything I can to use my connections to get them help, but that all takes time, which I don't have much of.
I know I should be praising the fact that I still have my house and all of my things, especially in light of what just happened to them. But all I can see is that I can't help them because I don't have the time to put into it. Besides all that, the stress of not being able to keep up in school has been maintaining a really painful stress headache for the last five days.
Right now I'm just looking for new ways of handling stress and being able to help my neighbors out. Any advice that anyone has is something that I am paying much attention to because it may help me in the long run even if I can't use that information right this instant. This is just a tough season for many people, and my thoughts and prayers go out to anyone in the same situation as these I have mentioned.
